A tribute to Jessica Watson
May 16th 2010 00:13
Jessica Watson is back home in Aussie, you know,
She sailed from these shores seven long months ago.
She had dreamed a dream as an eleven year old girl
To sail all alone, right round the world.
Five years she planned and trained for the day
Her yacht and herself were prepared for the fray
All those worrisome months, alone on the seas
Would bring some grown men to pray on their knees
Yet a teenage girl did this self imposed task
Knowing her courage and spirit would last .
Jessica sailed into Sydney harbour Saturday afternoon after seven months sailing alone around the world. She did not stop anywhere, nor did anyone board her yacht from start to finish. Congratulations Jessica.
